Peculiar Manner In which n sum of stolen
Money Was Recovered.
Saturday last Charles Rohrig the Eighth
ward butcher, missed $50 in cash and n
small satchel in which he had placed the
money. He could discover no clue to the
thief, but had his suspicious, which, how
ever, could not be yer flied. On Sunday
Mrs. Rohrig struck upon plan whereby
she thought she could detect the thief, so
she had her fortune told by South Side
sorceress, who, sure enough, told her that
the money had been stolen and the person
who did il was an inmate of the house.
Mrs. Rohrig then took the fortune teller
to the house, and calling in servant girl,
invited her to have her fortune revealed.
The girl agreed and the woman who laid
bare the future and past, informed the girl
among other things that she had taken
some money and thrown away the recepta-
Gle from which il had been extracted
The poor girl, who was thoroughly
frightened, confessed TO having taken the
money from the valise and thrown the lat
ter In an clubhouse. She returned the cash
and the sOrccress was sent on her way re-
joicing with a good fee, and Mrs. Robrig
kindly allowed the misguided girl 10 re-
main with her, which generous act is
commendable, especially when compared
with the action ol some people who at

THE KNIGHTS POLLED
Their Presidential Preferences-Not in Fa-
yor of New Party.


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October 10
The 225 delegates to the Knights OF Labor
General Assembly now in Minneapolis
represent almost every State and Territory
III the Union. They were selected from
half million of their fellows TO legislate
for the good of workingmen generally.
Their opinions as TO policies and parties
canvass of the delegates was made to-day
these queries being put
What is your opinion of a National
Labor ticket in lSSS?
Name your choice for President on such
q ticket
The result shows that the general officers
and more conservative minds in the order,
as a rule, hold that the time is not yet ripe
for independent political action, believing
that the workingmen are not sufficiently
united in purpose, or sufficiently developed
in ideas of right government, to make suCh
a movement either safe or practicable. This
is Powderly's view as well as most of the
Executive Board. The rank and file, to-
gether with the hot heads, like Tom Barry,
OF Michigan, among the officers, are eager
for Labor party. POwderly is the very
general choice for President, but there are
few who believe that he would accept a
nomination. Henry George is mentioned
fewer times than most people would have
expected 1t is the almost unanimous
opinion that none of the old party leaders
is 10 I've the labor Moses. The general senti-
ment is that the contest, if made, should
be one OF measures, not men, and that
there are plenty of men competent 10 lead
the workiDgmen's hosts.

to do the latter, which he did at farm

English View of the Fisheries Dispute.

LONDON, October I0.-The Post, COM
menting on the fisheries dispute, says:
"The main contention of the Americans is
that no nation has the right OF jurisdic-
ton over the sea beyond three mile limit.
On the Pacific America is acting in fat
contradiction to any such principle of inter
State comfy or treaty rights. British
vessels have been arrested far outside Of the
limit, and their captains fined and crews
imprisoned. In some cases the vessels and
cargoes have been forfeited. Americas s
Pacific claims form an excellent counter
argument to Americas Atlantic claims,
and rs such will be of great and direct
value TO Mr.. Chamberlain"
In the case of the Pacific seizures by
United States authorities, the Post further
says il remains vital fault that they Oc-
Cured where the telegraph and newspa-
pers are not known, as the local officials
can thus provide an unchecked account OF
their proceedings. Mr.. Chamberlain, 1t
says, in the absence of information from
independent sources is helpless to contend
against American evidence, and it urges
Lord Salisbury to collect evidence lest Mr..
Chamberlain be hampered in the negotia'
tions.
